Spain sending navy ships to Black Sea. It’s getting real.

Canada sent a ship as well.

Russia is now planning to have war games with entire navy fleet.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://news.sky.com/story/russia-invasion-fears-as-britain-sends-2-000-anti-tank-weapons-to-ukraine-12520950) reduced by 82%. (I’m a bot)

> A group of around 30 elite British troops has arrived in Ukraine to help train the Ukrainian armed forces on new anti-tank weapons gifted by the UK amid fears of an imminent, new Russian invasion, Sky News understands.

> "Mr Wallace added:"Let me be clear: this support is for short-range, and clearly defensive weapons capabilities; they are not strategic weapons and pose no threat to Russia.

> The Russian Embassy to the UK posted on Twitter: "It is crystal clear that UK shipment of lethal weapons to Ukraine will only fuel the crisis.”

Reddit war chiefs thinking ‘elite’ troops are Rambo when they’re just people with the skill and knowledge to train others on specialized weapons.

Why does Russia want to invade? I know tensions have always been high. Sorry about being the ignorant one in advance

Why can’t Russia just fucking chill and stop swinging it’s dick around. They are either going to collapse economically or destroy the world and We still haven’t gotten season 2 of shield hero yet

It’s really sad that this is a completely manufactured conflict. The Russian people don’t hate the Ukrainians or vice versa. It’s all Putin. And Putin is going to force people to kill each other for personal gain as if their lives have no value. They’re just pawns on a chessboard.

I’m torn between “this is normal posturing, nothing major will happen” and “dear all of the gods please please please don’t let a war engulf us once again”

The confirmed list of the 30 elite troops they are sending:

1. Rambo
2. Robocop
3. Arnold Schwarzenegger
4 & 5. The Boondock saints
6. Dirty harry
7. cliff secord/The rocketeer
8. John McClane/die hard
9. chuck norris
10 MacGyver
11. Mr. T
12. Machete
13. Blade
14. Judge dredd
15. Agent J from men in black
16. Neo from the matrix
17. Max walker from Time cop
18. Cherry darling from the planet terror
19. Mad Max
20. James bond
21. William Wallace from Braveheart
22. Leon the professional
23. Bruce Lee
24. Snake plissken
25. Indiana jones
26. Ash Williams from the evil dead
27. Ellen Ripley from alien
28. The bride from kill bill
29. Luc Deveraux from Universal Soldier
30. The highlander

I wish the countries would get together and get all competitive with their scientific progress, technological advancements, artistic expressions, and, especially, culinary exhibitions.

You know, the parts of those things that involved less aggression and more societal benefits.

Syrian Arab Army experience with ATGMs, including getting BTFO in T-90s, should give Russia pause.

Personally, I did not really respect the effect TOW missiles could have before the Syrian Civil War (like how TF is the US supposed to defend the Fulda Gap with a couple divisions) but god damn they were a game changer in the ME.
